Second time and always a solid meal. I highly advise coming here for something like a weekend lunch. They've got great specials running and the service is quick I ordered the Katsudon and it's absolutely going to become my go-to. The chicken was great, I might see if they could put just a little more sauce on it (if that's ok) because the rice wound up being a tad bit less flavorful than I wanted. I know I could also just add a dab of soy sauce but the curry on the chicken was so good... I also tried their matcha lemonade. Not something I'd get every time, but it hit the spot. The lunch deal on sake wasn't too bad either.

The wait wasn't long about 5-10 mins. The pork Gyozas as well as the Shoyu ramen especially with duck and back truffle were delicious! Greatly recommended ?

An extremely pleasant surprise for the quality of food and the flavors they have here! I would definitely describe myself as a ramen focused diner and thought I knew most of the great spots that NYC has to offer, but Oramen exceeded expectations. Started with the chicken katsu sandwich, which was quite good. Great fry on the chicken, the sauce was very tangy, and the bread was soft and tasty! Really great sandwich. Now - the duck truffle ramen is quite possibly one of the more interesting and best ramen bowls I've ever had. Duck that is expertly tender, tons of umami flavor with the truffle broth, and delicious bok choy with the noodles. I would come back JUST for this ramen. I also tried the brisket ramen, which was another highlight. Plenty of beef and a yummy soft boiled egg. The broth flavor was very hearty and great on a cold day. Service here was fast and friendly, and I quite liked the dim lighting, neon vibe, and albeit kind of loud but groovy J-Pop synthwave vibe. Highly recommend if you're looking for interesting ramen!

Good ramen spot in this area. No complaints on the ramen. Very well made. Good menu with a lot of different things you could order from and types of ramen. My favorite dish is the spicy tonkotsu ramen. Has the perfect amount of spice! Would also recommend the duck shoyu ramen.Service is good. Employees are attentive and kind. The place is very clean. Lots of seating. Can accommodate walk ins. Would come back if I was in the area.

Oramen is so reliable, so reasonable, and so comfortable. I only wish I lived closer. Their specials are always money. The sushi is fresh and delicious. Great for lunch or dinner.

Food was good but male server removed my food super early and took away drinks when I wasn’t finished. Female server was super kind and nice!
The food was bland and a BUST BOY looked at my 120$ receipt and said “um there’s no tip, tip not included” not realizing my husband and I are from the department of labor just dining. Asking for tip in any setting is extremely rude, tip is optional not mandatory and he wouldn’t leave my table until I tipped even tho I told him I just wanna pay first then tip after. He did not service us not once the younger white kid and Asian girl did. I will not be dining here again at all.

Dim lighting for ambiance. Friendly staff. Yummy food. Haven't eaten in Manhattan for a hot minute so I forgot how sky-high the prices are. Salmon Crispy Rice - $15 The salmon was raw so I didn't touch this, but everyone who did enjoyed it. Popcorn chicken - $15 Was a little disappointed because it didn't look or taste like the popcorn chicken I'm used to, which is not wet, very crunchy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. This dish resembled a wet karaage more, though they did have a karaage appetizer on the menu as well. The flavor was hot and spicy, which made it a little better, but the texture was not it. I wouldn't get this again! Spicy Miso Ramen - $19 Like any other miso ramen! It was decent but nothing particularly stood out.

Our two ramen dishes were very good. The lunch menu had delicious small treats. The dessert of warmed red bean filled fish pastry with green tea ice cream was amazing. A very good ramen spot in Chelsea.
